Mushroom Walk & Show - Sept. 3-4

Tuesday, 30 August 2011 00:44

Sorry to those who received an email with August in the headline.

Schedule for Saturday Sept. 3rd.

Gary, Indiana.

10 a.m. Miller Woods:  Meet at the small parking lot, just north of the parking lot to the Paul H. Douglas Center For Environmental Education.  This PHD Center is on Lake St. in the Miller part of Gary.  Follow google map directions to PHD then just past the parking lot for that on the east side of the road (and just north a foot bridge) there is a little parking lot on the west side of the road.  I usually park there as sometimes the other one is closed.

At about 1-1:30ish, we’ll head to the oak forest just west of the National Park HQ at 1100 N Mineral Springs Rd, Porter, IN 46304.  Plenty of parking there, meet towards the western most parking areas.  If that’s slow, we can walk thru Cowles Bog, just up the road.

Please call 765-532-4227 to contact me if you have any questions or need some help with directions.

Schedule for Sunday Sept. 4th

Chicago, IL

Then the next day, September 4th, we will be attending the Illinois Mycological Society Mushroom Show at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. That information follows:

Illinois Mycological Association Mushroom Show & Sale
September 4, 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

The Illinois Mycological Association celebrates the richness of fall mushrooms in Illinois with an exhibit of 50 to 100 varieties of mushroom foraged from area forests. Members provide information and answer questions regarding mushrooms and fungi. A children's education area is available, and mushrooms, books, and t-shirts will be for sale. Mycology is the study of fungi and their use to humans as a source for medicine and food, as well as their dangers, such as poisoning or infection, and their benefits to natural ecosystems.
